Does JarJar die? Well, Palpatine is a human supremacist and we never saw any Gungans in the original trillogy... but I don't know about the Expanded Universe.
I think I'll like it. I'll forgive it for being PG13 (if it is, which I don't doubt). I'm fine with all the others having been PG, but something in me does wish they were all G...
I saw the trailer on TV a few minutes ago... maybe other people who think they're missing out can too? I think there's still a previous RotS trailer that I haven't seen yet... how many have there been? I think I saw the first one.

The final, long-awaited Star Wars movie is not suitable for children, director George Lucas has admitted. Episode III – Revenge Of The Sith is the darkest, most violent instalment of the series and Lucas expects to get a PG-13 rating in the US. “I don’t think I would take a five– or a six-year-old to this, it’s way too strong,” he said. If his certificate prediction is correct, it will be the first Star Wars film to advise parents that certain scenes are unsuitable for under-13s.
Revenge Of The Sith is the third prequel to the Star Wars trilogy and sees the young Anakin Skywalker turn to the dark side to become Darth Vader. It closes the door on a series panning almost 30 years. “We’re going to watch him make a pact with the devil,” Lucas told US network CBS, in an interview to be aired on Sunday. “The film is more dark, more emotional. It’s much more of a tragedy.”
The director concedes he could have “pulled it back a little bit”, but said he just did not want to. “Actually, I am very happy,” he adds. “I’m very pleased with the whole thing.”

Skywalker's transformation from cute good guy into the evil Darth Vader features a scene that could scare the bejesus out of little kids, says Lucas. Landing on a volcano-ridden planet called Mustafar, Skywalker makes "a pact with the devil," he says. "The lava at the end ... it ends in hell."
[....]
Skywalker's dance with the devil probably won't turn off loyal "Star Wars" fans, said Bob Thompson, a Syracuse University professor and pop culture expert. "The accepted wisdom is that you don't mess with the franchise," Thompson said. "But so much of the fan base is people who saw the first episode 30 years ago, and they are old enough and mature enough now for something darker."
Also, children today are harder to scare, he said. "There is a trend toward embracing darkness in children's literature and movies," Thompson said. "In 'Harry Potter' and 'Lemony Snicket,' people are poisoned by snakes, eaten by leeches and sucked into the vortex of darkness."

Anakin was never cute. He was plenty evil before AotC started.
I think preferably something that starts meant for kids or kidfriendly should always be so. I would almost say if a later part of a franchise is not kid friendly, kids should no longer watch any of it.
